Time to start a new cheeringthread, for a new season. Lots of luck to Stan in 2008 :bounce:

He'll soon (2nd match) start playing at court 2 vs. Alberto Martin..! Have a good start of the year! :yeah:

Nymeria

01-01-2008, 03:01 PM

And he'll also play his doubles match today. He has the honour to play with Santoro and they play a good team, Fyrstenberg & Matkowski, from Poland. Last match of the day at centre court. Lots of luck there as well :yeah:

Getta

01-01-2008, 04:37 PM

Stan defeated Alberto Martin 6-2 6-2 in just 72 min. :yeah:
Though, the real test will be in the 2nd round against Ivo Karlovic.
It would be encouraging for Stan to have a win over Ivo under his belt, a few days before AO starts. ;)

Keep going, Stan. :bounce:

Why Stan gives me the impression that he is absent-minded for 10 min (at least) during his matches? :scratch:

Nymeria

01-01-2008, 05:10 PM

That's a nice result, I followed the start of the match, then we got visitors, so I had to close my laptop.
But yeah, now a test. Lot's of luck vs. Ivo, would that match be tomorrow? :unsure:

Getta

01-01-2008, 05:44 PM

Probably on Thursday. :)

Nymeria

01-01-2008, 06:17 PM

oh that would be nice, because tomorrow I'm not at home

his doubles match should soon start :)

Nymeria

01-01-2008, 07:25 PM

they won doubles 7-5, 6-0 :yeah: nice score! :D

Yvo, Breaking news !!!

Stan plays Christophe Rochus in the 2nd round. Not Ivo.

Christophe defeated Ivo. :eek: Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

Nymeria

01-02-2008, 09:34 AM

yeah that's definitely a surprise :eek:

Hope Christophe won't surprise again :p

Nymeria

01-02-2008, 09:42 AM

Btw he will play twice again today! I am afraid I won't be able to follow scores, so I wish him lots of luck already now! Will check results when I am back home tonight...

Lots of luck Stani :bounce: (and I guess I'll have coverage of this match at eurosport, would be nice to finally see him play again, that's a while ago... (most prolly last time was when I saw him live, in Halle))

01-04-2008, 10:25 AM

Wow. :eek: Calleri is a decent player so for Stan to beat him so convincingly is a great achievement. :yeah:

Ljubicic hasn't been playing the best tennis these last 12 months...a good opportunity for Stan to reach the final! :D

Nymeria

Anyone here to follow the match? It just started!

15-30 on Ljubo's serve

Cheering my heart out for Stan the Man.
Could use some help there (all the others are Ljubo fans :help: )

Nymeria

01-04-2008, 01:51 PM

ah yeah livethreads used to post in them years ago... don't like them anymore :p

Well I quite like Ljubo, but for sure Wawa is my fave this match. I am watching it, it's a nie match. But Wawa still makes some unnecessary UE's... but I love to see his backhand going well :D on to the tiebreak! Hopp Wawa :bounce:

Nymeria

01-04-2008, 02:00 PM

Nice tiebreak for Stani :bounce: first set for him! 7-6 (1)

Yeahhh Stan! :) Just beat Murary and you'll have your second career title! :banana: In Umag Djokovic retired so...that took something away from it I'm guessing. I'm really excited about the final. :D

I am sure you will still have plenty of possibilities to watch Stan!
I only have coverage of few tournaments, no TMS or TMC, only some smaller tournies and GS's... so in general the chance I see my players is rather small. That's why I have hardly seen Stan in tv, actually I think I saw him more irl than in tv :lol:

The problem with livestreams is that my (old) laptop often gives problems then and doesn't want to load them...I used to watch TMS at bwin, but now you need to have money on it, before you can watch. And I was registred with a fake address...

damn, he lost his first servicegame :( c'mon Stani!

Of course live stream stopped while I was enjoying the match so much! A nice fight to watch... now I have to stick to livescores only... 4-6, 5-4* Allez Stan!!!

For Holland you'll need to subscribe with a fake (Belgian) address too, because it doesn't work otherwise

Yeah that would be possible... they didn't on bwin, I remember my address there was something like "elvish square" and as city I had "Allez" dunno how I came to it.... :p

Would be nice if you can help me then! Where in Belgium do you live btw?

According to the Swiss media Stan strained the stomach muscle already on Sunday in the training and underwent an ultrasonic testing.
Stan said that the risk wasn't worth it to continue the match against Giquel. He would have felt the pain more after the second set and was handicaped during his serve.
He mentioned that he is really disappointed especially as he thought he had a good form. He will return to Switzerland for further medical check-ups.

Get well soon Stan :)

martine2

01-19-2008, 12:22 PM

Well, Stan's official homepage announces that the injury isn't too bad and Syan will start training again soon :yeah:

I'm so glad for him because it broke my heart to see him crying when he had to retire.
Good luck!

Stan plays Jesse Levine in the first round. Supposing he comes through this one, then he plays Tomas Berdych in the second round. :(

I don't like Stan's draw at all :(
If he gets past Berdych hemost probably will have to play his best friend Marcos :awww:

But all the luck to him! Hope he has a good run in IW :yeah:

Stan had a tough time against Levine. He finally defeated him 7-5 4-6 6-4. If Stan doesn't raise the level of his game in his next match, he will be in big trouble. Can't see him getting past Berdych. :shrug:

Stan defeated Marcos 6-3 6-7(1) 6-0. :banana: :banana: :banana:

He plays either Ferrer or Lee in the 4th round.

Keep going, Stan. :bounce:

I felt so frustrated when Stan lost to Chela at the US Open last year and missed a golden opportunity to reach the QFs of a Grand Slam. :sad:
And also very angry with him when he claimed that his win over Nalbandian in Vienna last year was dedicated to Federer. How stupid of him!!! :shout:

stan played realy well, he was very solid and was getting great width with his cc backhand that was opening up the court for his forehand or put away volley. baggy was spraying forehands all over the place, i've never seen him hit so many shots into the net. stan should have wrapped it up in 2 sets but im pleased that he bounced back so well in the 3rd set.

keep it going stan theres a great chance to make the qtrs now dont mess it up, i wanna see you top 20 where you deserve soon.

go stan!

So it's Novak vs. Stan next! May the best man win!

Well done Stan :worship: lots of luck in next round! Would be great if he can make it to the SF!

I am so upset, I set my alarm clock to wake me up in time for this match. But somehow I got my time zones wrong, and when I woke up the match was already over - and the stupid live scoreboard didn't have them in the Completed Matches section so I had no idea what was going on.

Good job Wawa! :hug:

I heard from someone who saw the match that it started in the 2nd set.
He called the trainer but it didn't seem to bother him that much. Let's hope he's ok but an injury popping up again after some time is never good :(

Hopefully his abdominal problems get better soon. :hug:

Any idea what his ranking will be now? :confused:

Nymeria

03-24-2008, 08:24 PM

Draw is out! Stan is seeded 28, so he'll have a bye in first round. (that's great, so he can have some more rest!)

It's Netherlands, not Neatherlands :nerner: and no it's not possible I think :unsure: won't we both play someone who lost in first round World Group? :unsure:

Oops,, I guess I was typing so fast that I couldn't controle of the spelling.. :lol:

That's what I thought as well, but I read an Australian article on Saturday about its team's playoff scenario, and it was saying like, the worst case of the Playoff was to face Roger Federer's Switzerland at home,, (and the best scenario would be facing the Netherlands,, it also said.. :p ) So,, now I don't know..

That is because Switzerland and Holland are both trying to get back in world group, while Australia is defending it's place :shrug: it doesn't confuse me. I hope Switzerland will play Belgium...

Really? Interesting! I didn't follow that part of the ties... concentrated on world group and europe (after all that's where my faves play :p) Still I think a team going for promotion should face a team going for degredation... it would be unfair otherwise. :shrug: lemme check the rules!

Yes, it would be unfair so.. At least they should do the seedings of the playoff teams, if that's not the case, in my opinion... please check the rules for me, too! :D

That's exactly the reason why I want them to play Belgium :lol:

And I cannot really find it in the rules, it says indeed that a seeding is made based on the ranking... :shrug: but it's unlogical!

Reading this, I thought you wanted to make a joke about Dutch people.

You know, sort of saying that they're a Homo Neadertal species, instead of being Homo Sapiens. Such stuff.
